Wore this to a friend's winter wedding welcome dinner party.  The dark purple color was fantastic, and the fit was extremely flattering.  Only problem was that it was SHORT.  Like can't raise my arms short.  I rocked it anyway, received a ton of compliments, and kept my arms down. 

Looked beautiful! Im a 34d and cannot go braless so was wondering what kind of bra you were able to wear with this?

I am 5'11", 140 lbs, and I rented the 4 and 6. When I tried them on, they both seemed a little big but the 4 fit fairly well. I know it's the style of the dress, but I felt like it was very wide and lacked any sort of shape-- tried adding a belt but that didn't work. Both sizes were clearly too short for the conservative wedding I was attending, but I wore the dress the next night out to dinner with black tights and black bootie heels. When we walked into the restaurant, I swear- every single person to look (probably because I was very tall, but I also felt fabulous in the dress!). It worked fine with the black tights for a night out, but if I lifted my arms at all it barely kept my butt covered! Like others said, it did have a slight purplish sheen to it- if it were slightly longer, I'd want to own this dress. 

This dress certainly met my expectations. It was so comfortable, I was totally fine with wearing it all night. I found that it was nice and flattering, and loved that it had arms as I hate keeping mine uncovered.  Some reviews do state it was too short, I did not find that a problem, but am only 5'2.  I would certainly rent this again! 

I have a big chest and tummy so it's tough to find dresses, but this one worked well for me.  Plus it was comfortable, which is very important.  If I saw this dress for sale, I would buy it. 

Loved this dress.  Wore as bridesmaid dress for an outdoor wedding.  It was a hit, classy with the lace so you could definitely dress it up but I was still able to pull off in less formal setting. Great fit throughout but very, very short!  Not the best if you plan to be seriously cutting a rug on the dance floor!  

Wore this dress for a Quincenera party. Got lots of compliments. This a really nice and classy dress. Very flattening too. I suggest to wear it with tights for fall/winter parties. It's perfect to pair with pumps. 


I just have to commend rent the runway customer service. You guys are amazing! I got an email a day before my delivery that my back up size (size 12) for this dress has been damaged and can no longer be delivered to me. So Madison from RTR told me to choose 5 different dresses at any price, and she will check which one is available, and she will send it together with my first choice of size for this dress. Madison was so patient to help me look for other back up dresses because my first 5 choices were not available. She was so kind to find and suggest similar dresses for me. I did choose a back up dress from one of her suggestions, and she was so kind to send me 2 different sizes just to make sure that I have something to wear for the party. So all in all, I got 3 dresses. :) Eventually, I did wear my original choice of dress, which is this gorgeous grey Shoshanna dress. I was just so thankful to Madison and RTR for a superb customer service. :) You guys really make sure that your clients get to have a beautiful dress for a special event. Thank you again Madison for all the help! Keep it up guys!

I wore this as a bridesmaid dress. It looked beautiful on, I got a ton of compliments, and it was comfortable too! The lace is really gorgeous, and the color is a rich deep gray.

I wore the size 2 which fit my large bust (38" circumference around the fullest point). It hit a little above the knee, so length wasn't an issue for me.

Can't wait to rent another Shoshanna dress!

I typically wear a size 10-12, it varies depending on the dress. The size 10 fit perfectly and was extremely flattering! I felt so slim. Got so many compliments on the color, and was so comfortable to wear all day! 

I loves this dress. It fit very true to size and was very comfortable. To me the color had a slight purple tint to it but I thought it was a beautiful dress!

The dress fit perfectly and it was the size I normally wear, I was a bit concerned since I had my son a month ago that the dress might be too tight it was just right! Classy and lace what more could you want , it is a bit on the short side so if your extremely tall the dress might be too short I'm 5'3 118 pounds 

Loved this dress! It was comfortable to dance in yet I still felt great! The material was light so this dress can be worn through the spring and fall without being too hot. This dress does run large so size down for your backup size. I usually wear a 4 or 6 and wish I had the 2 to try on ( the 4 felt a little loose but wearable ) the length was just perfect but may be short on tall gals. 
I paired this dress with " putting on the ritz" necklace by Kate Spade for $15!
Another successful experience with RTR! 

Fit like a glove. Able to move and dance. Would totally wear again!

I wore this to a good friends wedding, I'm between a size 10 and 12. The 12 was a smidgen too big, but overall the fit was true to size. The dress looks super short on the model. But was just the right length for my 5'4 hight. I would definitely wear this dress again.  

Shoshanna is my favorite for a good party dress and this was no exception l - the lace was pretty and perfect for my 26th birthday party. You could definitely make this dress dressier with accessories or dress it down - I wore it with black tights and flats. It was incredibly comfortable. My only warning is it is short - for taller girls, definitely size up or wear tights. Overall, great dress!

This dress fit perfectly!  It was a little shorter than I planned but I wore the bigger size and it was five!  It looked super cute with pearls :) 

Fit perfectly.  A little on the short side but I'm short so it was fine. Got tons of compliments!

I wore this to a 30th birthday party and it was the perfect amount of dressy. I ordered a 6 and an 8, both fit fine but I went with the 6 so it was less boxy. A lot of people said the dress is really short but I didn't think it was inappropriate. I paired it with black nylons so it was more conservative and it worked perfectly. The boat neckline is super flattering and no necklace was needed!  Definitely recommend this!

Very cute dress, fit great and the color is really pretty in person. It is definitely short (I'm tall though), but was great for a charity event I attended. Another good RTR experience!

This dress is cute, short, and flirty. The color has a purplish tone to it, which I liked because that's my favorite color. 

Runs true to size. A little short - I paired with black tights (to make it work appropriate). Very comfortable with any type of undergarment. 

This dress was adorable. A little big in the midsection but not enough to keep me from wearing it.  I received compliments before even getting off the elevator.  Like others reviewed, it would be short for someone taller, but it hit me perfectly mid thigh because I am on the shorter side. 

It fit really well and definitely would be good for a lot of different body types

I wore this dress to a fall wedding. I knew I wanted something with sleeves and this dress was perfect. It is a little on the short side, but I got a lot of compliments all night. I ordered the 2 and the 4 and wore the 2 because the 4 was roomier, but didn't look any more flattering.

Fits a bit larger than other Shoshanna dresses - I'm usually a 10 in her strapless dresses and a 12 in sheath/a line dresses so I would recommend ordering your size and a size down as backup.
The lace overlay is a gray-purple with a gray lining, contrasts nicely.  On the shorter side but did not have any issues with sitting or dancing. 

This was my first RTR rental and I am obsessed. I am so indecisive and browsed the dresses for a couple hours before deciding on this one, so many great options but I am so happy I chose this one! I ordered the 0 and the 2, but I didn't even try on the 2 as the 0 fit perfectly. I chose one of RTR's necklaces to pair with it so I had one less thing to worry about. I wish I didn't have to send either back!

I am in love with this dress. I rented it for my engagement pictures, and I initially rented a 4 & a 6 (I usually wear a 4 in Shoshanna dresses but I wasn't sure how form fitting it was so I rented a size up also). The 4 fit but it was a little looser than I wanted it to be, so I called customer service & they overnighted me a 2, which fit PERFECTLY. (I'm 125 pounds and a 34D). The dress is short - I'm only 5" and it was pretty short on me - I loved the length but I can't imagine how short it would be on someone who was tall. All in all it was super flattering, and I think it would flatter most body types. I would suggest ordering a size down as your backup size. The neckline was conservative without being TOO old-fashioned, and the lace detailing was even more gorgeous in person. I would DEFINITELY recommend this dress - I didn't want to send it back. As soon as I get our pictures back I'll post them :)

I want to own this dress. It is amazing. I loved the fit. I loved the length. I felt that it managed to be both conservative and risque at the same time since the length is a little short. The fabric doesn't really have any give to it but I found that the four fit me well--which is my usual size. Those with a larger bust may have to size up a little bit since the dress was a little narrow through the chest.

Wore this dress to my cousins wedding and received a ton of compliments! The dark grey color was fantastic, despite I would have rather more of a spring-like lighter color. Very flattering and most importantly comfortable. I rocked this and danced the night away. True to size and sexy yet formal as well. I think it'll be flattering for any body type. You will not be sorry! 

LOVED this dress, one of my favorites that I've rented so far, wish I could own it! Perfect for a bachelorette party! Wore with sheer black tights and black platforms.  Was true to size, comfy, sexy, but not revealing too much.  Would love to rent this again or look for in another color! You won't be sorry with this!

Very comfortable dress.  I wish that I could buy it!  Great length and fit.  The color was perfect.

I really wanted to try the lace trend, and this dress did not disappoint!  I belted the dress as others suggested and wore opaque tights with booties since this was a casual date night.

Rented this dress for Valentine's Day -- and it was seriously the perfect winter date dress. I rented the 4 and the 6, and the 4 was a bit more of the body-hugging fit I was looking for. The 6 was more of a body-skimming shift style. Beware, tall ladies: it's a little shorty-short -- so I wore it with black tights; the dress is more of a greyish-purple than a black or silver. Super cute. Felt amazing all night & didn't feel too over-the-top during VDay dinner. Yay! 

This dress is very sexy.  I wore the 6, while the 8 fit, it was a little large in the waist and bagged a bit in the back above my bottom.  I felt like it was short, but with the tights, it was do-able.  Plus, winter in MN...you need to wear tights.  Wore this for my 43rd birthday party...out for dinner and dancing.  It was a comfortable fit and the shape held up all night.  The sleeves do run a bit tighter, but I would order the size that you typically wear and a smaller size, for the bagging issue.

I wore this dress to a bachlorette party dinner.  I dressed it up with bright turquoise suede pumps and it was a hit!  The lace makes you look sophisticated and lady like but its just short enough to be flirty for the occasion.  I would definitely rent this again!

This was a very easy, comfortable dress to wear to a winter wedding. I recieved so many compliments on the dress and am still getting compliments when people see the picture on my desk. I am very happy with my RTR experience!

This sweet 16 party had a dress code of silver, grey or white, so I rented this and paired with dark tights (winter time).  It was really comfortable and classy looking.  

The party was an amazing time!

I really don't think you could go wrong with this dress for any occassion, very flattering yet not too much or too 'showy'.

This was my first rtr and I️ will be using it all the time now! This dress was actually my back up dress not the one I️ picked first. I️ received lots of comments on it all night and it fit perfect! Very true to size. 

This dress is flattering and super comfortable! I had to work and was running late to the wedding I was a guest at and literally threw it on as I was running out the door! It's great for short girls, I received compliments all night! 

I loved this dress. I wore it to an evening wedding in springtime in New England. I had to wear my backup size as there was a rip in the sleeve of my first size choice. The size down wasn't much different, just a smidge tighter in the bust. Overall this dress was great. Kind of a slate ish grey color. Dress length is perfect for short girls. It's super comfortable, and you can raise your arms when you dance.  Loved it!

I wore this for a weekend getaway with my husband at a spa resort in February. It was perfect, fit snugly but stretchy enough. Perfect for shorter girls (I am just about 5'2).

I rented this for a day wedding. I ordered a size 2 and a 4 for my backup based on others people's reviews. Ended up wearing the 2; which is my size. It was very comfortable and I received many compliments on it. I would definitely rent this dress again!!! 

This dress was pretty true to size but a little short. I am only 5'3 so normally don't need to worry about length, but this was short. Other than that - loved it!

I am typically a women's medium in tops and a size 6 for dresses. I ordered the 8 based on the reviews of it being short, with my backup as a 10. I went with the 10 so it wasn't skin tight and I had room for comfort. I was able to wear a regular bra which is a must for me and it was perfect. I was able to wear a decent size heel as well as not constantly pulling it down. I fit in the 8, but since this was for a "work" holiday party, I wanted to be a bit more conservative.
For my first RTR experience, I'm hooked. I have another party in January and can't wait to find another dress. My dress was supposed to arrive on a Wednesday for a Friday party, and it arrived the Monday of that week. HUGE plus!

The fit was perfect. Slightly short even on my 5' frame. So wore a small heel and it was fine. Very pretty brown color. I would have given it 5 stars but there were several small rips in the lace around the hemline. Not notable unless you looked closely, like while sitting down. I loved the style though!

I felt this dress was a little large. I definitely could have worn the 6 but unfortunately it wasn't available the weekend I needed it. Overall this dress was perfect for a fall wedding. The dress looks black in the picture online however it is actually a beautiful grayish purple. I received so many compliments. Other reviews said the dress was too short however I felt it was the perfect length for me. My mother loved it so much she's going to rent it for a wedding next weekend! 

I rented this dress for a wedding and I absolutely loved it! My first size was a 6 which is my normal size, but I ended up wearing the back up size 8 dress.  The size 6 fit but was a little too short to feel comfortable.  The dress itself was in great shape - there were a few threads at the hem that were loose, but overall it was a beautiful dress!  The charcoal gray color and the pattern of the lace are gorgeous. My first Rent the Runway experience hit it out of the park!

This dress was really comfortable. When I first took it out of the bag I was a little nervous it looked faded but as you can see in the pics it looked amazing! My fiancé loved me in it too!

Very cute dress! I rented for my birthday brunch

Loved this dress. The color a beautiful purple with grey undertones. Unfortunately they only had a size 8 but it ended up working out with some Spanx underneath. There was a small hole in the sleeve when it arrived but it was not noticeable because of the lace. Only regret is wearing it with black shoes instead of nude. I'm 5'3 ish and the length was perfect, even when kneeling at the Catholic ceremony. I would 100% wear again. 

I wore this as my bride's maid dress in my friend's wedding. The color was exactly what she wanted (charcoal gray) and it fit perfectly! I fit both the 10 and 12 but chose the 10 since it provided a bit more shape. It is definitely short! Because of the sleeves and the skirt length, it's a great dress if you're looking for something classy but fun. 

i got this dress a little bigger than i usually wear because it is lace and i knew sometimes lace can be binding on my build. the 8 fit really nicely with a little room to breath in my midsection. the length was perfect but not too short. overall i loved this dress and received many compliments. i did notice that some of the dress looked frayed in some areas from other wear but you cant notice it unless you're right up against the area

I rented the size 2 and the size 4 - the 2 fit better, but it was a daytime family wedding so I went with the 4 as the 2 was very short. Keep in mind I'm only 5'0, so taller ladies should definitely consider a larger size. The fit was great; it ended up being more of a shift style dress since I chose the larger size, but I loved the color and the sleeves fit really well.

Fit well, beautiful dress, comfortable, loved the lace! Only con would be that the lace at bottom hem was quite frayed :/  

Rented dress for outdoor fall wedding.  I typically wear a 4 or 6 dress size, but after reading the other reviews, I sized up.  (Thankfully!)  The 6 was SUPER short and tight (not even black tights would make it appropriate).  I ended up wearing the 8 because the length was much better, but wasn't flattering in the midsection.  Overall it was a nice dress and lots of compliments. 

such a great dress and got so many compliments! at 5'7 i felt the dress was the perfect length! there were a few times i had to tug it down while on the dance floor but other than that it was super comfortable! the dress has a slight stretch so theres a little give.  the 10 fit just fine, but i wanted to be able to move around and not has to constantly pull at the hem!  would definitely wear again!

I loved the fit of the dress, they didn't have the size down (just in case I was having a skinny day) but I didn't need it, the 6 was a perfect fit. I definitely got compliments on it!

I wore it in the beginning of the night but changed before we left.  Just didn't feel
Comfortable in it. The 4 fit but so did the 6 and couldn't determine which size to wear and didn't feel like it was flattering.

Very comfortable, stretchy and not too form-fitting. I wish it was an inch longer but I got over it and received many compliments at  my winter high school reunion. For shorter or non-toothpick legs, I would recommend a booty rather than very high heels. 

I rented this dress for an auction and gala. It was comfortable but dressy. It was the perfect length on me but would be pretty short for a formal event if you're taller. It can easily be dressed up or down depending on what kind of event you're going to. I received compliments all evening. Another great experience with RTR. (All of us in this picture are wearing dresses from RTR!)

Wore this to my engagement party. Very flattering and just the right amount of "dressy."  I have short legs, so didn't have to worry about it being too short. 

This was for a fall wedding and it worked out perfect! It runs true to size and I wore the 4 for the evening. It is a tad on the short side, and I'm only 5 feet tall, so if you're on the tall side expect it to be very short. Got a few complements on it during the evening; probably would not rent again, but it served its purpose and I love Shoshanna!!

Loved the dress when I got it, but it was way too short to wear with heals for the wedding that I was attending.  Ended up wearing it with flat sandals the day before - it made a great casual day dress!

This dress was so pretty and comfortable. I am a 36E so I went with the 12 instead of the 10. Very true to size!  It is short!
